In the Wind
by Elizabeth Spurr (Author) and Manelle Oliphant (Illustrator)
Booktalk: The BIG Picture
On a windy day, a young girl makes, flies, and loses her kite. But when she returns, something special is waiting for her.
#kidlit Writing Lesson: the small details
Open the book and the story begins right away. The left (reverso) page says:
Windy day. Sunny sky.
The first rhyme is completed on the facing right (recto) page:
Brand new kite. Time to fly!
This board book tells a rhyming story about the weather. (And as you can see in the booktalk, the story has a main character and a beginning, middle, and end.)
